It is shown that the fact that a local Galilean frame of reference or a local instrument such as the gyrocompass preserves its orientation with respect to the universe of stars is adequately explained by the fact that the universe of stars has the unique property of having no detectable mechanical interaction with local bodies. The Mach principle asserts that the universe of stars has some connection with local mechanical phenomena. The considerations of this note suggest that the universe of stars appears to have some connection with local phenomena for the paradoxical reason that it has no connection.
